Redlemon, thank you for the info.
I bookmarked that site so next time I hear a good tune in a commercial I can check it out.
Thanks again

Anyone got a bead on what the "rock" song is during the montage at the end of this hitchhiker's guide trailer?
http://www.apple.com/trailers/touchs...ler_large.html

I have a couple of songs.
1: There is a remix of Orgy's "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)" that I have and want to know the artist that mixed it.
2: I found a Bizarre Remix of Cold's "Stupid Girl." Not that the mix is bad, but that is actually part of the title, but I can't tell for sure if it is legal stuff. I originally found it on www.extremecold.org but the site no longer exists. Was that site even legal? Guess not.

Even if you've heard them that's a good start.

okay there was this site on the net, that had this song about california that was sung by developly mental disabled adults and the like. they lyrics had somethin to do with meeting susan lucci and seeing her oscar or something...any help?!

I need help w/ a song I heard @ a restuarant the other day....
it has an arabian sound to it, and goes "ahhh rooot"
or something like that.
the only part i know other than that is i hear "faces of starvation"
i recored it on my phone a bit, but i have no idea.

Does anyone know that song you tend to hear at basketball games? It sounds like techno, then you hear people start singing along with the melody but with no words. I know this is vague, but I don't know how to describe it any better.

the dave... try zombie nation by kernkraft 4000

Does anyone know this song?
It was made and popular in the early-mid 90s
Sung by a female vocalist who is almost yodeling
There may be more flurishes in there I left out.
http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/sobedrummer/mystery.mid

"Almost yodeling" and early 90s would suggest either the Cranberries or Sinead O'Connor; however, I don't recognise your MIDI sample.

Found it, it was the Cranberries
Dreams to be exact....

trolled through adtunes for a while, but i didn't come up with anything
they should make accessing old pages faster in the forum
if you don't search, you can only advance 2 at a time

anyway, the song i'm interested in was featured in a car commercial in late 2003/early 2004. the song was some chillout track that i can't determine.
here is my best approximation of what i remember (no i'm not going to sing):
http://rapidshare.de/files/1655061/mystery.mp3.html (64 kb)

two scenes that i can recall:

side view of car in a store parking lot, hatchback open, being loaded from the rear (which is on the left side of the screen)

then there is a brief look from inside the car: one hip looking black guy sitting in the back seat, shot low from the front center armrest

it seemed like the options that the car had were changing throughout, but i can't say for sure (i.e. hatchback, no hatchback shown by morphing). likely to have been an import.

thanks for participating...

trickyy: Mitsubishi really got into a lot of trendy songs to promote their cars and if you think about it, helps narrow things down. Ford & Chrysler haven't gone the music route for the most part to my memory if you don't count these type music. Chevy has and they almost all seem to be American Themed / Springsteen type stuff. Nissan is almost all two songs that have something like zoom zoom in them. This doesn't sound like something the Germans would do unless it is Volkswagon maybe? Same for the high end Japanese cars like Lexus et all.

After that, not sure. Can't think of a Toyota comercial off hand other than the one were that bitter chic throws her BF's truck off the cliff(funny).

I found this information at http://www.zipposusa.com/mitsubishi/mitsubishisongs.htm

There is supposed to be every song they have used since 1999 through current. They have a couple of the songs available for download as well. Hope this helps your search.

Need name of Hawaiian band that covers "fire" (Pointer Sisters)
 

Ok so I heard at a university "luau" this Hawaiian cover of the Pointer Sisters song "Fire" (written by bruce springsteen) the cover was such a chill perfect summer song. Anyone know the band? Trying to find more of this stuff.

lyrics (to spark your memory)
I'm ridin' in your car, you turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close, I just say no
I say I don't like it, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

Late at night, you're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay, I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you, but you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

BRIDGE

You had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin', actin' like a fool
Well, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool...

Well, Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet a love they couldn't deny
My words say split, but my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss, ooh, fire

LEAD BREAK

Ooh fire...
Kisses like fire...
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin now, fire
Touchin me, fire
Touchin me, burnin me, fire
Take me home

FADE

Male singer by the way

OK, covers, that's my department...

Checking over at The Covers Project, the song Fire was covered by Ho'onu'a, which certainly sounds like it would be a Hawaiian band. This song is on their album Have a Good Time (Amazon link).

Next time, use the sticky thread at the top of the Music subforum for song requests.

didnt see the sticky :/ that'll teach me for posting in an unfamiliar corner of tfp. Thanks so much for the information, just got the song!

Theyre from my home town. Scumbags the lot of them. Trust me.

You know that Shaggy song, Angel? I'm pretty sure it's a cover of an oldie song, but I'm trying to figure out what the name of the old song is. Angel is too common of a word, and anything that comes up is the Shaggy song.
This line sounds pretty much like the old song. But after that, the words are changed.

Angel of the Morning
Words & Music by Chip Taylor
Recorded by Merillee Rush & the Turnabouts, 1968
Repopularized by Juice Newton, 1981

Yes, that's it! Thanks a lot!

No one will probably know, but it's worth a try.

I've heard this song once, and it was a few months ago. It's a country song ( I NEVER listen to country music so, i dont know any people or anything really ). I know it was about some guy reading a newspaper about a guy killing himself, or something? I know in the video it shows him in a truck, looking at the newspaper. I really don't remember it much, so I can't give too much info, so I doubt anyone can help, but like I said, it's worth a try! Thanks for any help.

JeremyS,

I believe you are referring to Blaine Larson's song, How Do You Get That Lonely.
I personally love the song, and for a young guy, he really has a great voice.
Here are the song lyrics just to be sure:

It was just another story written on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on the bedroom floor

There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go


How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?

I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score...

90's rock/alternative song
 

The song I'm thinking features vocals similar to either gavin rossdale [bush] but very well could be by someone else...

A lot of the lyrics were indecipherable, due to the vocalist's bumbling, but I was able to figure out in the chorus had: "ey, ey, ey, ey....." ; 'Let me be' ; "hold me closer" and "like myself" all in the chorus, in various parts of it....

Although Nirvana's heart shaped box also contains the 'ey, ey,' in it - I'm positive this isn't the same song as described above.

Thanks !
Keyshawn

EDIT: After doing some searching on google and itunes, It's Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart....the vocalist doesn't sound like Scott Weiland at all, weird.

Okay, i'm hopin somebody here can help me out. I've been lookin for this country song and cannot find it for the life of me. so bear with me while i try to resight some lyrics..anyway i think its an older country song,, maybe mid to late 90's? anyways the voice seems to sound like Randy Travis. the choris goes something like " and go go on a (somthing?).....go like you never gonna go again... and go go on a......(something, something) ..like a long lost friend.. Well thats all I could come up with for lyrics. the go's are kinda stretched out for a few sec.. well I hope somebody can help me out here. thanks for any help!!

Thank you very much indebut.

There is a song that comes on Hot97 around here (Hip-hop and R&B station)...It has a little bit of a funky trumpet sample, and every few seconds, there's a woman who says (i think), "I really need it"

Any ideas? Thanks

I did a little research and found it!

It's actually "I Really Mean It" by Camron and Diplomats

There is a "Smooth Jazz" song featuring a male and later, female, vocalist.

The most prevalent line throughout the song (chorus line, but lead singer sings it), is "I thought about you/ya."

The song starts with the male singing and later the female singer sings back, as if answering his sentiments.

I heard it on the radio yesterday (and before), and I really dig it, but have been unable to locate the artist and song name so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I heard this song at a party last night, tried to copy some of the lyrics into my phone, but anything I got was of no use, no lyrics came up on google.

It's a rock song, and includes a line that includes the words "only people come..." and I was pretty sure they mentioned "Sunset Boulevard" and the latter part of the song, the singer and the backup singer do a really catchy harmony together, over and over again.

I hate when this happens. Dammit.

Sounds like Johnny Hartman, I Thought About You. Is this the song you're thinking of?

Find the album of the same name here.

mystmarimatt, do you remember anything else? That's not a whole lot to go on...

country song with the video like "drop it like it's hot"
 

does anybody know the name of the country song, where the video is shot in black and white? and i swear to god it is the same damn thing as the snoop and pharell "drop it like it's hot". it shot in black and white, features half-naked women, and tilted cars, and even a yacht. it is bothering me that i dont know it, i need to find out!

I'm looking for info on a song, probably from the 70's, that has a couple of guys singing harmony and backed by guitars. The chorus lyrics include something like 'Are you living now...slowly finding how.. it's been a long long day, it's been a long long day' (could be 'way' instead of 'day'?)

thoughts?

and another one that haunts me was from an episode of 'Ironside' where the story revolves around a rock band with a blind female singer and the lead guitarist gets electrocuted from someone tampering with his wah-wah pedal. They sing a song 'Light the way, won't you light the way... I think that we can make it and I know that we can survive so I 'm hoping that you will be with me just as long as I'm alive'.
I'd love to find out who really recorded the song and if it's available...or failing that I'm watching out for Ironside on dvd....

Okay, who was that group (circa 1990) whose first hit sampled "true" by spandau ballet? It was 2 (?) black guys who wore very african/hippy type clothing in the videos. Very trancey/trippy music.

PM Dawn's "Set adrift on memory bliss", 1991

That was an *easy* search. Never heard of them before the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" television show last year; they seemed pretty good, although it isn't my genre.

THANK YOU! That's been driving me nuts for 3 days now

Sounds like System of a Down's "Lost in Hollywood", offa Mesmerize

okay new challenge:

a band, who is currently still active, with a real classic rock (think acdc) sound but indie lyrics. it is "the _____ _____s"...unfortunately I can't get too much more specific. Any help?
